A communication of a rescue worker with the selected groups of patients
VÍTKOVÁ, Michaela
The key topic of this bachelor thesis is an option to call via a distress call, which would be suitable preferably for speech-disabled or deaf people. During my training at the operation center of the South Bohemian Emergency Medical Service, I have observed on more than one occasion that callers are under a lot of stress, even though most of them possess the ability to hear and speak. However, deaf, hard of hearing or speech impaired callers might seem to be in a lot more difficult position. In the theoretical part, the definition of the call center as a whole is carried out, including its tasks and functions. A division of distress calls is included, kinds of dispatch groups and an indication of dispatches. The complex capture of issue of speech-disabled people follows definition of basic terms, division and means of their communication. The similar structure can be found in the next chapter, dealing with deaf or hard of hearing people. In the thesis, there are mentioned rules of communication with both groups of disabilities. This is one of the basic pillars of succesful communication with them. Practical part is formed with a qualitative research of half-structured dialogues. 7 randomly chosen operators of Pilsen district and 7 of Budweis district participated in the research. The aim is to monitor possible procedures of communication with the people with speech or hearing disability and an overview of possible solutions to these complicated distress calls. The research shows, that a phone call is not the only way how to reach a distress line. It has also been proven that although both operational centers are ready for a possibility of accepting other forms of distress calls than classic phonecalls, both speech disabled and hearing disabled people hardly ever use them. The results of all calls are only tentative and they are dependant on the experience gained by a particular operator. The purpose of this work is to use it as an option for further study material for the work of a distress call center operator, which is included in the curriculum plan of paramedics.
